CWS School Safe Zones

When schools don’t have clean water or safe structures, or when hunger drowns out a teacher’s lesson, learning is harder than it should be. You and your congregation can help to create safe, welcoming learning spaces for kids in East Africa. When you provide children with a safe place for them to learn, they stay in school longer, giving them a great start on life. You can donate here or you can get your congregation involved. It’s easy! Just follow the steps below.

Set a goal.

Every gift matters. How much would your congregation be able to accomplish towards providing lasting change for these communities? Challenge yourselves. Here are some price points you can aim for:

Financial Literacy - $45

Financial literacy training for 1 individual

Bunk Beds - $100

One bunk bed for a dormitory

Teacher Training - $350

Teacher Training for 4 participants from a school

Improved Sanitation - $600

Construction of one latrine for improved sanitation

Clean Water - $1,500

Construction of one rain catchment system for clean water

Peer Exchange Program - $2,500

Peer exchange program for school leaders

Infrastructure Improvements - $10,000

Infrastructure improvements for one school

Have fun as you raise funds.

Fundraising can be simple and fun! You can host a talent show, set up a bake sale or send the youth groups out to wash cars. People love “hands on” activities, so don’t be shy – ask others to help you and turn an ordinary event into one that changes lives.

Educate and inspire your congregation to be ambitious, brave and outrageous – and an answer to the prayers of schoolchildren in Kenya.
